Notes:  ·  Data are estimates.  ·  For total heat content of petroleum consumption by all sectors, see data
for heat content of petroleum products supplied in Table 5.12.  For petroleum, product supplied is used as
an approximation of petroleum consumption.  See Note 1, "Petroleum Products Supplied and Petroleum
Consumption," at end of Section.  ·  Totals may not equal sum of components due to independent
